Mouse Warp Behavior on Workspace Dispatch

[DravenWB]

There is currently no way to disable mouse warping for specifically workspace dispatch calls. I may be an edge case but I can see this being an issue in other environments / setup:

Note: I am adding this info for context, though quickshell is not the core issue/request here.

Config Context:

• Distro: Arch
• WM: Hyprland
• QuickShell Integration

Design: I have a quickshell qml file that generates the hyprland workspaces in my bar and assigns them in groups, rather than 1 workspace per button, allowing for dual monitor workspace switching:

property var groups: [
    { logical: 1, left: 1, right: 2 },
    { logical: 2, left: 3, right: 4 },
    { logical: 3, left: 5, right: 6 },
    { logical: 4, left: 7, right: 8 },
    { logical: 5, left: 9, right: 10 }
]

This is then activated by the function:

function activateGroup(idx) {
        const grp = groups[idx];
        if (!grp)
            return;

        currentGroupIndex = idx;

        Hyprland.dispatch(`workspace ${grp.left}`);
        Hyprland.dispatch(`workspace ${grp.right}`);

        Hyprland.refreshMonitors();
        Hyprland.refreshWorkspaces();
    }

After this, as the right workspace is the last to be activated, the mouse ends up on the center of the screen on the right side. I tried to patch some of this behavior via the Hyprland configuration.

hyprland.conf (relevant settings):

cursor {
    no_warps = false
    warp_on_change_workspace = 0    # option 2 (force) also used but no change in behavior is observed.
}

workspace = 1, monitor:DP-1
workspace = 2, monitor:DP-2
workspace = 3, monitor:DP-1
workspace = 4, monitor:DP-2
workspace = 5, monitor:DP-1
workspace = 6, monitor:DP-2

However, despite implementing the warp_on_change_workspace setting to prevent this specific scenario, the mouse still warps. Now, as far as I understand it, this setting may not be global which is why I didn't place this in the bug discussions. A fix for dispatch integration with settings (if applicable) or an added warp_on_workspace_dispatch = 0 property would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know if I'm crazy or if I'm missing something. Love the project! Keep up the good work. <3

Edit: Going to war with github code formatting. Got it. Lol sorry for the bunch of edits.

Discovered a workaround which helps with this issue and may provide additional context regarding what is being asked. The workaround is to send a dispatch to disable mouse warping in between workspace switching though I think the functionality of the config should still be addressed.

Workaround:

    function activateGroup(idx) {
        const grp = groups[idx];
        if (!grp)
            return;

        currentGroupIndex = idx;

        Quickshell.execDetached([
            "hyprctl", "--batch",
            `keyword cursor:no_warps true; ` +
            `dispatch workspace ${grp.left}; ` +
            `dispatch workspace ${grp.right}; ` +
            `keyword cursor:no_warps false`
        ]);

        Hyprland.refreshMonitors();
        Hyprland.refreshWorkspaces();
    }

Edit: Replaced snippet with full function for continuity.
